The boys had been friends for as long as they could remember and a
little while before that. They were like brothers. Follow the
adventures of Tam, Rey, Nattie and Bobby - four boys who share a
friendship that will last a lifetime. From playing on the beach as
babies to navigating the journey from childhood to adulthood, this
beautifully illustrated picture book explores the importance of
male friendships. Emotive storytelling by Lauren Ace gently
presents themes of individuality, grief, togetherness and feelings,
while Jennie Lovlie's stylish artwork delicately presents the
difficulties and triumphs of growing up. This is the perfect book
for young readers who are facing big changes, and opens up
discussions about school-life and the future. From the creators of
the Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner, The Girls. "Gentle,
tender and joyful..." - Guardian "...a nostalgic story with a
refreshingly modern feel." - Daily Telegraph "The book is at pains
to show non-stereotypical images of boys and men... and manages to
be not only insightful but affecting." - Financial Times "With
echoes of Helen Oxenbury's illustration style, Lovlie's characters
glow, while her detailed, textured depictions of the seashore feel
really alive." - Observer "Utterly charming... luminously
illustrated..." - Attitude
